Windows 8 is good, I installed a program returns a cross between Win7 Start and Metro. I hardly ever use Metro, but my PC boots in 4 seconds and ready to use, and uses a lot less ram/cpu in the background

Windows 8, on a tablet, I would be more than happy to use it, but on a PC. I would much rather use Win7 or Linux...Win7 being ideal for gaming simply because every game is compatable with it, and Linux Ideal for everything else.

Not that I have ever used Linux, but everyone knows it's the best OS ever, they don't need to use it to know that much.

Finally got my desktop even cleaner, just found out I can attach folders to my Task-Bar by right clicking it, going to Toolbars, Then selecting a folder. Now I have all my shortcuts where I need them. Not in the **** way of everything.

Also, I have seen alot of people with black windows themes, and black windows, black startbar etc etc.. If anyone knows which one I'm on about, please link how to do, google was no help to me.

Guess what...I updated to 8, not forcefully Smile It's awesome, uses less ram, boots up and is ready to use within 4 seconds, Ok Metro might not be the most appealing, but I have a start bar program installed which allows me to open a standard 7 startbar and Metro as a kind of a bridge from 7 to 8 Smile

I agree with the fact that Metro is made for tablets, so I rarely use it (Hence ClassicShell) I originally had rainmeter and this

but I never found it useful and it interfered a lot with general stuff. My Laptop with Win8 is new and I still haven't gotten all my programs back yet :P.

Also. Seriously, Bman, Clean up your desktop, holy ****...If you feel you need your icons on hand, then organise them into folders to keep it all abit neater. And remove some **** from your task bar, really..
